The problem is, does *anyone* have any clue, at all.
I keep pattern matching to nuclear fusion in the 80s, which would mean the current panic is ridiculous. But that assessment itself could be ridiculous; I don't know.
I am suspicious generally of advances in fundamental physics, that field went from breakneck speed in say the 1920s to an enormously expensive waste of time by around 2000. Arguable, of course, but still.
